Venue: Ave-26, Venice Beach, Calif.
Re: A head to head Junior Lifeguard Competition between the LACo JG Teams representing Venice vs. Santa Monica. Knock down, drag out, running, swimming... you know the drill. These kids just don't get tired. They can do it all day. Thankfully for the instructors the competition ended at 12:30 pm or they would have to be treated for exhaustion! :-)
Here are some photos that capture some of the fun and some of the effort, including one surprise standout champion from the "C" Girls Group from Venice...
Buckle up!

Well, and so that about wrapped things up. These kids have been at it for over 3 plus hours! Frankly, we were exhausted. We took a few more pictures and then found a place to take a nap...
